Hello Alter M,
Thank you for your question and for reaching out with your question today.
I understand that you're frustrated with the default size of the Taskbar in Windows 11 and would like to change it. However, I must inform you that as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Windows 11 does not provide an official built-in option to resize the Taskbar.
The method you mentioned, modifying the registry key, is not a supported or recommended solution, and it's possible that it may not work as expected or could have unintended consequences. Modifying the registry can potentially cause system instability or other issues.
Microsoft periodically updates Windows, and new features and options may be introduced in future updates. It's possible that Microsoft may introduce a Taskbar resizing option in a future Windows 11 update, but I don't have information on specific plans or timelines for such changes.
In the meantime, I would recommend exploring alternative customization options available in Windows 11, such as changing the Taskbar alignment, choosing a different Taskbar layout, or exploring third-party software or themes that offer more extensive customization options for the Taskbar.
Please note that any modifications or third-party tools used for customization should be obtained from trusted sources and used with caution, as they can potentially introduce security risks or system instabilities. It's always a good practice to create a system restore point or backup before making any significant changes to your system.
Keep an eye on official Windows updates and announcements from Microsoft for any changes or new features related to Taskbar customization in Windows 11.
